Living with family, roommates, or partners can be an emotional roller coaster, especially for highly sensitive or empathic people like me. It's a whirlwind of absorbing energies from multiple personalities and moods. On this episode, we'll explore what it means to be highly sensitive, the differences between HSPs and empaths, and the importance of setting boundaries for our well-being. Equally important is taking care of our emotional and mental health. Peek into my self-care toolbox for HSPs and empaths, with practices to stay grounded and protect our energy. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or need guidance on managing sensitivity, this episode is dedicated to you. Let me know how it resonates.
